When other round-the-world tickets are going for up to £2150, Round the World Experts has a super-cheap deal for its 'East West Express' flight. A global tour with four stops is £789, including taxes.

This outstanding fare is valid on departures from 16 April until 20 June, 2011, and includes flights from London to Hong Kong (make your own way to) Shanghai to Auckland to San Francisco (make your own way to) Los Angeles back to London. Tickets are valid for 12 months from your departure date.

You may have to be flexible with your travel dates to get the best rates. Book by 30 November.

This is a standard offer - I have done it before, you are limited to the stops you can take and which airlines you can fly with (Virgin and Air NZ only). If you want a true RTW trip then book direct, I got one with Virgin for £1100 which had a number of more stops and also included Singapore airlines (all part of the *A).

These should be banned. There is no point in sitting on a plane and going around the world.

You don't just sit and fly... you travel overland too and you get to see the country. An example, i flew into BOM (Bombay) and flew out of DEL (Delhi) before landing in SIN (Singapore). From SIN i travelled overland (boat, bus etc) through Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Japan (Boat), Korea (Boat) and then back down through China.
Etc etc

I post this while sitting in Bangkok, packing getting ready to fly to Hong Kong for a couple of days.

It's here because it's a deal. The rest of your comment is pointless; I think it's obvious you can get more stops by paying more, just like anything.

not voting hot as these are available quite frequently and usually go all the way round the world and have a few more stops than this for this price or £100-200 more depending on when you want to travel. However Im not sure why people think it wont be available. I and many of my friends have used these round the world flights for the last 8-10 years. Its Often the cheapest way to get out to Oz or NZ and you can usually stop off in 4-7 other places instead of just LA, or just Singapore etc.
